What is Million?

Million is an extremely fast and lightweight (<4kb) virtual DOM that makes React up to 70% faster.

Oh man... Another /virtual dom|javascript/gi library? I'm fine with React already, why should I need it?

Million makes creating user interfaces as easy (It's just React!), but with faster rendering and loading speeds. By using a fine-tuned, optimized virtual DOM, Million.js reduces the overhead of the React Reconciler.

Furthermore, while alternative libraries like Preact reduce bundle sizes via efficient code design, Million.js can be used inside React and is much faster than Preact.

TL;DR: Imagine React at the speed of raw JavaScript.

Codebase

This repo is a "mono-repo" with modules. Million ships as one NPM package, but has first class modules for more complex, but important extensions. Each module has its own folder in the /packages directory.

You can also track our progress through our Roadmap.

Module	Description
million	The main Virtual DOM with all of Million's core.
react	A module that gives React compatibility for Million.
compiler	An optimizing compiler for Million in React.
jsx-runtime	A simple JSX runtime for Million core.

Acknowledgments

Million takes heavy inspiration from the following projects:

• blockdom (Géry Debongnie) Thank you to Géry pioneering the concept of "blocks" in the virtual DOM. Many parts of the Million.js codebase either directly or indirectly derive from his work.

• voby (Fabio Spampinato) The Million.js "template" concept is derived from Voby's template() API.

• bun for their homepage. The Million.js homepage is a remix of what they have currently.

• ivi, Preact, and more

Million is being used at companies like Wyze and Dimension, as well as open source work like Quartz, TinyPages, and more.
